Once Upon A Time Signature (s/o Sc/Pts) Richard Meyer

StrIng Explorer
As the title suggests, this fun grade 1½ piece features ever-changing time signatures that will intrigue and challenge the young string orchestra. There are four mood shifts in the piece, suggested by a student narrator who stands up and declares simply Once upon a time, Suddenly, Luckily, and Happily ever after. But what, exactly, is the story? That's up to your students and your audience to decide! This charming piece is simple rhythmically and note-wise, but a great way to get your orchestra counting. Sure to spark everyone's imagination! Correlates with Book 1, Unit 12
